IKHONS: A Celebration of Icons through Khmer Art and Global Perspectives | Dec 21 - Feb 20
Humanity has long been captivated by icons, from revered figures and celestial bodies to cultural monuments and personal reflections. The word "icon" evolves with society, mirroring shifting values and perspectives. Rosewood Phnom Penh’s latest art exhibition, IKHONS: Khmer Icons – All Our Icons, brings together nine artists from Cambodia and beyond to reimagine the concept of “icons” in a Khmer context. This groundbreaking showcase explores icons in all forms—from ancient temples to modern pop culture, from traditional Khmer art to personal introspection.
Curated by Nat Di Maggio of TRIBE Gallery, IKHONS features works by Carne Griffiths (UK), Hour Soben (Cambodia), Kanika (Cambodia), Lucas Varro (UK, based in Cambodia), Morrison Polkinghorne (Australia), Ngo Van Sac (Vietnam), Ponleu (Cambodia), Pure Evil (UK), and TUM (Thailand).
TRANSMISSIONS by VuTheara Kham: an Exclusive Exhibition Showcasing the Soul of Cambodia and Southeast Asia
Running from February 20 to April 20, 2025, this extraordinary collection features 36 exclusive photographs captured in Cambodia and Vietnam, marking the artist’s first-ever exhibition in his ancestral homeland. Known for his poetic and evocative imagery, Kham’s work offers a deeply personal exploration of identity, culture, and heritage.
Kham elaborates on his vision: “My work seeks to express the constant and moving dance of people in these places, which embody paradoxical forces: agitation holds a deep calm, the ordinary becomes extraordinary, order conceals chaos. My aim is to bring these scenes to life again, anchoring time and playing with it, narrating life and lives to provide future generations with a fragment of this era.”
